Was it the work of CHAD? Unlikely, since space-saving didn't seem to be the ultimate goal, and President Donald Trump happened to be spending some time on the links with Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, discussing health care policy. The Louisiana chapter of CHAD seems uninterested in such things, preferring to concentrate on suitcases of inexpensive beer, tarpaulins and leaving litter behind wherever they go. Given that Mardi Gras 2018 falls on Feb. 13, it seems likely we won't see them again until around New Year's, when the Endymion space-saving on Orleans Avenue once again kicks into gear.
